Year of the Dragon....

Chinese New Year 2012, was so much fun to celebrate with the kids. We made a feast of fried rice, homemade egg rolls, homemade fortune cookies, and mandarin chicken. We decorated the dining room with paper chain dragons and paper lanterns, and watched a subtitled animation on the legend of the the demon Nian. The kids learned a great deal about china and it just increased their interest in other world cultures. Here are a few pics of out crafts.

7 Snippets

I love to be a mother.

Some houses try to hide the fact that children shelter there. Ours boasts of it quite openly, the signs are everywhere.For smears are on the windows,little smudges on the doors,I should apologize, I guess, for toys strewn on the floor.But I sat down with the children and we played and laughed and read; And if the doorbell doesn't shine, their eyes will shine instead. For when at times I'm forced to choose the one job or the other; I like to be a housewife but I love to be a mother.
